While You Were Sleeping, Amanda Bynes Was Being Awful To Rihanna
Here are some things that happened over the weekend. Featuring a Game Of Thrones parody, Girls: the porno, and Amanda Bynes' Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad weekend.
Will And Jaden Smith Did The Fresh Prince Theme:
On the promotional circuit for After Earth, Will Smith and his haircut son went on The Graham Norton Show to totally upstage Heather Graham and Bradley Cooper.
It starts with Will beat-boxing while Jaden raps like a tiny little Yeezy, before his dad brings out Jazzy Jeff and they do the classic theme. And then Smith’s Fresh Prince co-star Alfonso Ribeiro, who probably doesn’t need it to be made any more explicit that his career peaked 20 years ago with a silly dance on prime time TV, is dragged out to do the dance again while Norton claps like a delighted two-year-old.
It’s great!

Sweeps Are Coming:
Friday night’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon premiered their latest digital original, Game Of Desks, which follows the backroom politics of the kingdom of Rockefell and the war for the much coveted Iron Desk. The title credits are brilliant and the parody is pitch-perfect, but it’s worth it for The Roots’ performance alone. (Also for the turn-your-head-and-cough gag, AMIRIGHT FELLAS?)
“I can see your Dinklage!”

You Can Stop Laughing About The Porn Parody Of Girls Now:
Last week, news dropped of Hustler‘s take on Girls , a porno that — in similar style to Porks & Recreation — parodies the show while making all of the characters have explicit sex with each other. (Which, as many outlets pointed out, isn’t too far off the original.)
This Aint Girls XXX stars Alex Chance as the sex-crazed Hannah, and the porn industry’s go-to Ryan Gosling-lookalike Richie Calhoun as Adam. “I tried to make it as weird as possible,” Calhoun told sex industry mag XBIZ “I tried to say really weird things and do really weird positions… Well, not that weird.”
Most people were chuckling a little, but there was a vague and undefined sense of unease surrounding the whole thing, too. Which Girls showrunner, writer and star Lena Dunham managed to define over Twitter:

Let’s Catch Up With Amanda Bynes, I Guess:
The spiral continues.
Thursday night: Police were called to Amanda Bynes’ Midtown apartment after a snarky doorman told them someone was smoking weed in the lobby. When officers knocked on her door, they smelled weed and saw a bong. Bynes threw it out of the window, and it hasn’t been recovered. She was arrested, and sent off for a psychological analysis.
This mugshot was published on TMZ.
This one, be-wigged, on Us Weekly:
Friday night: Bynes arrived to a New York City courtroom wearing a blonde wig and a pink acrylic nail on the middle finger of her left hand. Her lawyer Andrew Friedman said it wasn’t a bong that was thrown, it was a vase. She threw a vase out the window. Because why wouldn’t she throw a vase out the window?
She took to Twitter soon after.
Saturday: “It’s all lies. I was sexually harassed by one of the cops the night before last which is who then arrested me,” Bynes said, in an extended tweet. “He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal… The cop sexually harassed me, they found no pot on me or bong outside my window. That’s why the judge let me go. Don’t believe any reports.” The NY Post is now reporting that Bynes told authorities that “two officers who hauled her in ran their fingers up her arm and one of them penetrated her with his finger.” The charges are being investigated by the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau.
Overnight: Apparently unprovoked, Bynes sent out a few extremely obnoxious tweets to Rihanna, which have since been deleted from her account.
Rihanna’s response to the trolling made us love Rihanna even more.
